Mercury
By Brett, Rebecca, Cody
Solar System
• The planet Mercury is located in the Solar System.
How Far It Is From The Sun
Mercury
• Mercury is the the
closest planet to the
sun.
• This planet is 27
million miles away
from the sun and also
70 million kilometers
away.
The Size Of Mercury
• Mercury is
3.3 x 1023kg and 3,031
miles in diameter
Diameter
• The diameter of
Mercury in miles
is 3,031.
• Also the
diameter in
kilometers is
4,878.
Mass
• 3.3 x 10 23
Mantle
• Silicate rocks
Crust
• Silicate rocks
Mercury Weather
The atmosphere is
filled with hydrogen
and helium.
Length of day
The length of day is
1407.6 hours
Also the length of
year is 88 earth days.
Amazing Fact
 An amazing fact about Mercury is ; it actually has a very thin
atmosphere consisting of atoms blasted of its surface by solar
wind.
 Because Mercury is so hot,these atoms quickly escaped into space

Earth
The distance between the sun and
earth is an average of 93,000,000 Miles
Now that we know where and how big…
The earth is made of
many different layers.
These layers are made
up of different materials
and consistencies.
The inner core is hotter
than the surface of the
sun!
The earth is like a
Jawbreaker.

Earth’s Orbital period
It actually takes the earth 365 days, 6 hours,
9 minutes, And 9.5 seconds to orbit (travel around
An object from one point and Back to that same point) the sun.
Ever wonder why we have leap years? The 6 hours
Makes 1/4 of a day - every 4 years!
Earth’s axis
Planet Earth spins Around
On an imaginary pole
Called an axis. This
axis Is tilted at an angle
of 23.45º. The time it
takes The earth to spin
around once is 23.93
hours or 23 hours and 56
minutes
Size - comparison
Size
The earth has a
diameter
Of 7,926 miles or
12,756 Km
A circumference
Of 24,901.55 miles
Or 40,075.16 KM
The earth is the fifth
(5th) planet in size.
Earth’s mass
The mass of the earth is
5.98 X 1024 kg, or
598,000,000,000,000,
000 ,000,000,000 kg!
Can you believe this guy?!?!
I mean he really thinks he can
hold up Planet earth.
Density - mass per unit of volume of a substance
If Water’s density is 1,027kg/m3, and
earth’s density is 5,520kg/m3, then the
earth will sink if we had a jar big
enough to hold the earth and enough
water to test this fact.
gravity
Unlike the moon’s
gravity of
17% of
earth’s, earth
actually has a
gravity of 1.
This
means that if you
have a 100lb. Person on
the
earth they will weigh
100lbs., On
the moon they will only weigh 17lbs.
